Big Sunday happily welcomes you to Our Really Big Community Calendar

We try to include all kinds of volunteering and helping opportunities for all kinds of interests, talents, passions, and ages! As you’ll see, these include volunteering opportunities (one-time and long-term) as well as the chance to support a nonprofit by attending fundraising events. Plus, of course, we include all of Big Sunday’s homegrown events, too! Whoever you are, and whatever you do, there is someone out there who could use your help.

If you have questions about our calendar, or would like to add a listing, please contact calendar@bigsunday.org or submit your event/opportunity via the button below.

Why wait for Veteran's Day?  At Big Sunday, we love working for and with veterans. We'll be hosting vets from all over town. Together, we'll enjoy great games and entertainment. We'll also be writing letters to soliders on active duty. Then everyone's invited for a big and memorable Big Sunday community dinner. It's a great way to show the vets how much we care.
